So far I am out to only my closest friennds no family members know "the big secret". I came out to my best friend, who is male and straight, in March of this year (2002). I thought that everyone thought I was gay because I get hell for it at school. I could tell that he was shocked even though he didn't say. At first I think he thought that I was Joking because he told some other people at first but thankfully they did'nt believe him.
